Printer wireless networking issues

I am having problems connecting to an HP Officejet 6500 E709n. I am trying to get it connected via an ad hoc connection via the printer's wireless radio. I have been trying to get it connected for nearly a month. I have HPLIP and I tried getting it connected via the wizard 8 times. MY Toshiba Satellite L455D can see the printer but I can't send a job to the printer even if I seem to be connected to the printer. I can connect and print using the USB cable.

Okay, reinstalling CUPS was not a solution. All it did was force me to install Printing from the software center but the good news is that everything is working as good as it has before I removed cups this afternoon. The whole problem seems like a connection issue but my Wi-Fi works with networks other than the printer. If it helps printer's network has both the normal wave symbol and one that looks like a wave symbol in a computer monitor.

I have the same problem with a brother hl2170w printer, I am using 10.04, mine works perfectly on vista but not on ubuntu. It just does not connect to the printer, keeps trying.
